Good news for Israel - Israel’s prime minister said his country will “win this war” against the Palestinian armed group Hamas. Netanyahu labels Hamas ‘savages’, says Israel ‘will win this war’ Israel’s prime minister has called Hamas “savages” in a video posted on X and said his country will “win this war” against the Palestinian armed group. Hamas has made a “mistake of historic proportions” by “slaughtering families in their homes, massacring hundreds of young people at an outdoor festival, kidnapping scores of women, children and elderly, even Holocaust survivors”, Netanyahu said. Israel will “exact a price” on Hamas “that will be remembered by them and Israel’s other enemies for decades to come”, he added. The Israeli leader also thanked Biden and the US Congress for their “unequivocal support”. https://twitter.com/netanyahu/status/1711465610507341996

Abbas is 87, was elected President of the PA in 2005 and just stayed in that role, and basically functions as a contractor for Israel in the West Bank.

one thing that seems pretty clear to me is that the west had thought the "Palestinian Problem" was solved, that no further resistance was possible, and that they could be quietly shuffled into the dustbin of history. the lib reaction is one of betrayal, the Palestinians were breaking their social contract where they could be sympathetically cooed about but ultimately given up upon

How was it that real chances to reach a settlement with the Arab states (above all, Egypt and Jordan) had been squandered since 1967, due to unwillingness to pay the price for peace – the return of the Occupied Territories to their owners, even when there was a possibility of agreement on small territorial modifications (with Jordan)? Why did the Israeli leadership prefer and sanctify the status quo, which was intolerable to the Arab world, to the point that President Sadat was finally compelled to use force to end it? How was it that an atmosphere of national arrogance and contempt for the Arab peoples and their national aspirations prevailed in Israel, along with the belief that ‘time is on our side’ and that ‘the Arabs have absolutely no military option’ and so the existing situation would prevail for another 'ten years’ and even more, so that the only thing left for Israel to do, supposedly, was ‘activity in the Territories’? And, finally, how was it that all this ultimately contributed as well to the neglect of defence matters in the groundless belief that war was far off?” - Chomsky and Kapeliouk

“The higher you climb, the harder you fall, says the English adage. And, indeed, on 6 October a serene and self-confident Israel tumbled from a mountain of illusions down to the ground of reality. The trauma was severe. Suddenly Israelis opened their eyes and discovered that dogmas, ‘sacred cows’ and other ‘unshakeable truths’ had been smashed on the rocks of reality. The Yom Kippur War could also be called the ‘War of Disillusionment’. One of the reasons for the gloom that afflicted Israelis after the war was the shattering of myths to which they had become enslaved. It became clear that the characteristic that Israelis had attributed to the Arabs – self-delusion – had struck deep roots within the Israelis themselves. Although the myths were destroyed, they were not replaced by any changes in the approach to Israel–Arab relations. That would require self-criticism and a radical change in the composition of the leadership and its ideology, which were not quick to come, despite the transformations that occurred after the war.” Not by Omission: The Case of the 1973 Arab–Israeli War Amnon Kapeliouk

'The status quo will persist in the region for as long as we want it to’ "First and foremost among the myths that crumbled to their foundations in the Yom Kippur War was the ‘eternal’ status quo, which was supposedly contingent on nothing but Israel’s will. The current situation will stay the way it is – repeated Israel’s political and military leaders between the two wars – even for twenty or thirty years, until the Arabs agree to convert it into a ‘real peace’ with Israel, in which normal relations would be established between the Arab states and Israel and extensive territorial changes made in Israel’s favour. A year after the war, former foreign minister Abba Eban would admit that ‘there was agreement within the political echelon: we will remain in the Territories and that is what will force the Arabs to change their position’. The illusion of a never-ending status quo was facilitated by the fact that although after the 1948 war the Arabs did not immediately reconcile themselves to Israel’s new borders and demanded a return to the Partition borders, after the 1967 war they forgot the Partition borders and demanded that Israel return to the armistice lines, that is, the lines of 4 June 1967. Many claimed, therefore, that just as the Arab states had eventually ‘swallowed’ the status quo of 1948, the same thing would happen this time: lacking any military option, the Arab states and the residents of the Occupied Territories would reconcile themselves to the new status quo. Acceptance would come, they said – even if it took a long time. However, the mistake of the partisans of the status quo was that they had made a mechanical comparison and failed to take account of the enormous changes that had occurred in the Arab world and in the international balance of power since 1948 and their dynamic. They drew conclusions for the present day based on a period in which the Arab world was weak and fragmented and the international balance of power was against it (it was a rare moment of pro-Israel agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union). Eventually developments proved that the Arab world as well as the residents of the Occupied Territories rejected the status quo, which evaporated with the roar of the cannons on 6 October.” “It also became clear that, not only did the status quo based on ‘ideal security borders’ not prevent war, but it had served as a motivation for war and the rallying of a huge national effort, above all in Egypt, in order to break the status quo and regain the Occupied Territories. The Israeli leadership habitually scoffed at the widespread fear of Israeli expansionism in the Arab countries, a fear that the Six-Day War enhanced. That scorn strengthened the illusion that the Arabs would reconcile themselves to the new status quo. The Arabs, on the other hand, now came to realize that despite the declarations of Israel’s leaders that the Jewish state had no aspirations for territorial expansion, when the opportunity presented itself to expand their borders, they would exploit it by building settlements in the Occupied Territories with the goal of later annexing them officially.” “The myth of the eternal status quo was also harmful in that it prevented Israel from presenting serious proposals, plans and initiatives for peace with the neighbouring states, for the status quo and the absence of political initiatives are two sides of the same political coin. Indeed, there may be cases when the status quo is desirable, if it is directed towards a defined, narrow and time-limited objective; but that is not the case when it comes to ‘stopping the hands of the clock’ by misunderstanding the political situation, as was the case here.” “The faith in the idol of the status quo could not exist without other myths, such as the belief that the Arabs understand only the language of force, or that ‘time is on our side’ and that the 1967 ceasefire borders are second to none as a deterrent factor preventing war.”
